Product Overview: MIMO Desk Antenna by Panorama (Cellular Antennas)

Posted: February 1, 2017

/ By: Mobile Internet Resource Center Staff

Panorama's MIMO desktop antenna comes in two versions - one with 2 TS-9 connectors works for signal enhancing a cellular mobile hotspot device with two antenna ports, or one with SMA connectors for use with routers.

MIMO (Multiple In Multiple Out) is the use of more than one antenna to increase signal performance. All LTE devices internally have at least two antennas to take advantage of this technology. This antenna is designed with two antennas inside it's panel case, and then had two plugs that can go directly into a device with TS-9 ports (typically used on mobile hotspots like JetPacks and MiFis).

You can mount by sitting on a desk or other flat surface, or with the included suction cups to a window most closely facing the cellular tower you're connected to, or use the included clips to attach to the screen of a laptop. No tricky roof installation needed. It's portable and rated for indoor use.
